Mallory Millett published a fascinating essay this past week in Front Page Magazine. Entitled “Marxist Feminism’s Ruined Lives,” it’s about how her sister Kate Millett, author ofSexual Politics (1970) went about organizing a totalitarian movement which she labelled as a form of “feminism.” Mallory describes how Kate invited her to a meeting with about a dozen other women in the late 1960’s. Here’s an excerpt:

They called the assemblage a “consciousness-raising-group,” a typical communist exercise, something practiced in Maoist China. We gathered at a large table as the chairperson opened the meeting with a back-and-forth recitation, like a Litany, a type of prayer done in Catholic Church. But now it was Marxism, the Church of the Left, mimicking religious practice:

“Why are we here today?” she asked.
“To make revolution,” they answered.
“What kind of revolution?” she replied.
“The Cultural Revolution,” they chanted.
“And how do we make Cultural Revolution?” she demanded.
“By destroying the American family!” they answered.
“How do we destroy the family?” she came back.
“By destroying the American Patriarch,” they cried exuberantly.
“And how do we destroy the American Patriarch?” she replied.
“By taking away his power!”
“How do we do that?”
“By destroying monogamy!” they shouted.
“How can we destroy monogamy?”

Their answer left me dumbstruck, breathless, disbelieving my ears. Was I on planet earth? Who were these people?

They proceeded with a long discussion on how to advance these goals by establishing The National Organization of Women.

You ought to read the whole thing. At this stage of her life, Mallory, having seen the hurt and cruelty pushed by the agenda of her sister, says she’s come to identify with the daughter of Joseph Stalin in speaking out against the harmful work of a family member.

It’s strange indeed how a small coterie of privileged women like Kate Millett (educated at Columbia and Oxford) would go about ruining and trying to control the lives of everybody else. In fact, I find it hard to believe such women — so enamored of totalitarianism — really look down at all on the idea of patriarchal domination. More likely, they’ve adopted the mindset they pretended to abhor, and have now become that patriarchy.

“We have the parts so we will use them.” That’s what Bianca Bowser told Yahoo News about his spouse Nick getting pregnant. Their two biological children, identified as sons named Kai, 3, and Pax, 1, share both Bianca and Nick’s DNA. That’s because Bianca’s sperm fertilized Nick’s egg. That would make Bianca the actual father and Nick the actual mother.

But wait! That information is classified! Or hate speech, or something. Right? No, this is the biological truth that Bianca and Nick as representatives of the transgender movement — and self-confessed publicity hounds for the cause — insist that we must reject. The agenda requires that the entire world reject this, which means that if it doesn’t apply to them, then it must not apply to you.

Neither Nick nor Bianca have undergone sex reassignment surgery, so their reproductive systems are still intact, though they each must take a lot of hormones to sustain their transgender appearances. They do plan to have surgery done, later on. You can read the whole thing here: “Transgender Parents Speak Out about What Makes a Family.”

I’m convinced that the transgender movement is at root a War on Language. I doubt that the ultimate goal of the movement — so driven by raw power — has much if anything to do with equality for transgender individuals. By forcing you to change your understanding of pronoun usage, the transgender project succeeds in undermining any common understanding of human identity, including your own identity as male or female. I refuse to get sucked into this rabbit hole. And I hope you agree.

However, I’m fine with name changes. If a man named Richard decides he wishes to be called Emily, I’ll defer and call him Emily. But if Emily then decides I must change the definition of pronouns to suit his self concept, that’s where I draw the line. Because in essence he’s asking everybody else to change their own perception of reality to suit his. This is how cults operate. The first thing a cult leader does is work to destabilize the recruits’ sense of self or self-concept in relation to the world. Indeed, the transgender movement has all the earmarks of a Cult.
